I get the feeling you know the movie but recognizable lines are slipping past you. Mrs Wolf would have gotten it by now, and this isn't her genre.

When the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies"

I agree with you about "Who's Nect" and äqualung". I'm more familiar with The Doors by their catalog than which song is on what album, but I know enough to know you just mentioned "L.A. WOMAN" and then quoted from it. I heard that Jim Morrison had to be re-interred. He was buried in a cemetery in France, but partiers kept visiting his grave and partying, leaving a mess behind for the groundskeepers to clean up, so they said he couldn't stay anymore. "How big a party animal do you have to be to be thrown out of places decades after you die?"

BTW, is Legends bothering you because they're getting fluffy and silly? Because that was the one thing I prefer about Legends when all the other shows got moody and stuff. Was that the same trailer from the end of CoIE with the same green, glowing object?

That tune is obviously a big deal for twi. The commercial showed ads for the song with its name on them. They probably shelled out good money for the melody- and probably for the instrumental track as well- then added the corny lyrics, had twi people sing it, and have twi people pretend to play it. That's far more likely than the possibility that they actually have that much talent remaining on staff. So, fake musicians, fake numbers of people, and especially fake numbers of YOUNG people. This commercial was more to snow the remaining young people they had that they weren't a faded minority and that they'd meet other youngsters if they went on staff. Without naive, impressionable youngsters to replace the aging staff, they won't be able to handle upkeep without paying outsiders- and that would take actually paying money, which they really, really don't want to do. twi has always spent its PEOPLE rather than its MONEY, because they consider its people to be used no matter what they say to their faces.

It's rather obvious to us that it's exactly what they did. Otherwise, far too many things make no sense- like why do they employ as staff a bunch of YOUNG CHILDREN? The shirts seem designed for this commercial specifically- with "STAFF" in big letters and the organization name almost missing from the shirt. There was a LOT of fake expressions there- but I found Vern's wooden, hollow delivery worse than any of them. He couldn't have sounded more like he was reading from a script or teleprompter if he had been trying to sound fake.

He was. He did. He was. Those 2 roles were, all the others were not, IIRC.

No, nobody with quite as much universal name recognition. BTW, I was surprised you didn't comment on someone with the role of "Robert April." I would have thought it would have rung a bell and raised at least one question.

The latter.

People getting possessed from old way classes. When twi was using those exact same classes, they were touting how fantastic they were and everything. As soon as someone else ran them- with that being the ONLY thing that changed- not only were they useless, they were WORSE than useless because students could get POSSESSED from taking the class! I'm sure all of that hung off, once again, the mis-translation and misinterpretation of a SINGLE VERSE that twi then formed a doctrine around. They said "the present truth" meant the truth that was true now, as opposed to the truth that was true yesterday, or the truth that will be true tomorrow. But that's not how truth works. The truth remains true in the past, present and future (although events may change facts, like the current fastest world record for running the mile is faster than the record a century ago, but running the mile is still running the mile.) The :present truth" didn't mean the truth not of the past nor future. It didn't mean a gift. The "present" meant "HERE RIGHT NOW." We no longer had to wait for it, the truth had finally arrived and we had it! (From the 1st century church through today into the future.) So, It was the truth that was HERE, not a moving target that will keep changing whenever twi wanted to declare something no longer "true."

Someone here MIGHT remember one or more of those roles, depending on how well they remember who appeared on what TV shows in a "Hey- it's so-and-so! He appeared in this series?" way.

I'm curious whether that policy was recommended by twi's lawyers or not. There was a time that the only times twi changed something to be a little LESS exploitative of their people was when their lawyers said to do it. (How evil does your CHURCH have to be if a bunch of LAWYERS have to tell you to do the right thing for your members?) More likely, it was a self-defense measure by someone who did the math. The Advanced Class is one of the things- and ALL the things twi EVER does fall into this category- that TURNS A PROFIT. twi MAKES MONEY off of each person who attends. So, someone finally realized they were shutting off an additional revenue stream by making it more restrictive to take the Advanced Class. lcm started that a long time ago as an additional CONTROL MEASURE, and it cost them a lot of money but ensured those who were still there were more blindly faithful than otherwise. Meanwhile, in life, there were people who had to take out loans for any of a number of things- and twi made that FORBIDDEN, so that separated all of them from twi's "good graces." Need to buy a car? Better get a cheap used one and just keep fixing it up. If you bought a new car and made payments, twi would disapprove and get in your business. Need a place to live? Better stay a renter for the rest of your life and hand money over to a landlord. If you bought a house and made payments, twi would disapprove and get in your business. Want to start a business? Better make it something with no startup, like washing windows. If you got a loan to start it up, twi would disapprove and get in your business. Nobody ever wonders why twi members are always tired, because we know twi always has more hoops to jump through. Nobody ever wonders why twi'ers always have old beat-up cars to put their stickers on- although lcm used to complain about that because he was an idiot who NEVER WORKED A DAY IN HIS LIFE and didn't understand that you can't get a new car with cash upfront if you're most people or not using twi's budget. So, twi rolls back another STUPID policy they had for over 20 years that they NEVER should have had, and that they kicked people out or chased out for disobeying, and the remaining glassy-eyed minions of twi just nod, smile, and think of how much better their lives just got.

And they're not GOING to give actual numbers. twi is so small and insignificant now- in a societal sense but it can still ruin INDIVIDUAL lives like it's doing now- that they stopped giving numbers since the early 1990s after they lost 80% of the current group. Since then, they've gone OUT OF THEIR WAY to express everything without exact numbers of people because the numbers look so pitiful. There's some megachurches around the US that have more people show up EVERY SUNDAY than are in twi across the entire USA. So, they claim they have lots of people and so on, but get vague as to the numbers. My favorite method for this was when they reported on a graduating class of the corps. They announced that 20% of the grads were going on to do one thing, 20% to do another, and so on through 100% by 5 accounts of 20%. How many grads were there? FIVE. So, ONE GRAD was going on to do one things, ONE GRAD to do another, etc. Not a lie. Just phrasing things in a way to INSINUATE a lie, so people think something other than what was TECHNICALLY said. That's right out of vpw's playbook, all the way back to when he said he "played basketball all through college" (never actually said he WAS ON A TEAM, just that he played while he was in) and that he was "involved with the Sheboygan Redskins" (again, not that he ever put on the uniform and played in a single game, just that he had some vague connection), then could technically say he didn't actually LIE to anyone. "LYING" by INSINUATION is deceptive and COWARDLY, but, hey, it's all twi HAS by now, so it's not like they're going to stop now. They're just trying to keep twi circling the drain but not falling in, all so that the handful at the top can exploit its resources and get what they can out of it so they don't have to work a REAL job like all the fools they convince into giving them 15% of their income regularly.
